drill

Sasha Go Hard has previously been more of a minor presence in the drill scene, only because she's been a little less prolific than her peers, and hasn't had a hit that really broke out of the regional scene.

King Louie speaks the truth: “They say you can make it anywhere, if you make it in Chicago.” The city notoriously known as Chiraq has been long overshadowed by gang violence, and those fortunate enough to make it out the trap are considered heroes.

Common is gearing up for big things this summer, with an album entirely centered around violence in Chicago, Nobody's Smiling. He's already revealed the tracklist and the cover art for the LP, which features a variety of covers including ones with upcoming Chicago spitters like King Louie, G Count and Dreezy.

Lil Bibby is one of the most promising young artists coming out of Chicago, which is certainly saying something. The 19-year-old rapper made his name rapping alongside fellow fury-spitter Lil Herb, and both of the Chi-town emcees dropped their debut projects within the last 6 months.

Young Chop has a new EP dropping later this year, and he's shared a new track from it today.
"Bang Like Chop" finds the Chi-town producer reuniting with the tag team that brought us the infectious street anthem "Don't Like", which was a big break for all artists involved.

Tink is an up-and-coming artist who has grown alongside Chicago's drill scene, but unlike many of her contemporaries, she sings as much (if not more) than she raps.
Her sequel to 2012's Winter's Diary features guest appearances from Rockie Diamonds and G Herbo (aka Lil Herb).

Chi-town's Giftz goes in over a LoKey track on his latest offering, making plenty of statements in his hookless track.
"Ain't do no drillin'/ I put bars on it," says the rapper, putting his skills above those of the buzzing drilll scene in Chicago. Look out for more from the rising rapper in the coming year.

Listen to Hittas (Prod. By Paris Beuller), the latest track from Cap 1. The cut dropped on Saturday, December 14th, 2013. Cap 1's future brightens with every new release, and Hittas (Prod. By Paris Beuller) certainly isn't an exception.
